Finally. I have my voice back. I thought it had taken a permanent hiatus. Two and a half weeks. I understand the life of a mute now. It’s rather tiring, having to mime everything. And people think that if you can’t speak, you can’t hear. What’s up with THAT? *nosewrinkle*

Okay, Tuesday, January 25th — I finally have a day off from werk (supposedly). Perhaps I can once again work on some D:C:U stuff. We’ll see as the night presses on. For now, I’m going into the hot tub. My left knee has been…I don’t know the word…suddenly-causing-me-pain…for the last couple of days.

I’ll be walking along, fine and dandy, and all of a sudden it’ll hurt quite a bit and decide not to hold up my weight (I’ve lost 7 pounds, so I know that’s not the problem). I’m not understanding this. Is it something to do with my recent illness? I don’t want to go to the doctor again…I’ve shelled out quite enough money for the moment, I think. Hopefully this…this THING…will disappear within the next couple of weeks.

Oh, one more thing. It looks like there may be a job opening for a company called TechData near me in the next month. I’m going to apply there, maybe they’ll even take me in. I can’t, of course, write about what goes on inside the company here…but I can still write that I’m going to try for the position If I do get the position, my schedule will actually coincide with my natural circadian rhythm. I’ll get to work at night, and sleep during the day. Much more to my liking. Cross your fingers, paws, chopsticks, etc. for me!!!
